The incident took place in the afternoon hours, around 12:15 pm on April 8th, towards the crossing of Pleasanton Rd and W Southcross Blvd situated on the city’s Southside.

The Incident

According to the official reports obtained on the situation, the offender attempted a blatant act of theft, trying to take away store items without compensation. However, when a courageous store employee confronted him, the suspect showed his violent side, assaulting the brave employee and, without further hesitation, made a hasty exit from the premise.

Request For Public Assistance

The San Antonio Police are appealing to anyone who could have potentially valuable information concerning the suspect or any notes on the robbery to step forward and contact Crime Stoppers at the number 210-224-STOP. The department reassures informants that their identities will be kept anonymous and that Crime Stoppers is willing to pay up to $5,000 as a reward for helpful facts that lead to the perpetrator’s arrest.

Citizen’s Responsibility In Fighting Crime

This is a stark reminder to all the residents of San Antonio that they play an instrumental role in the fight against crime. Ensuring safety and security in our community is a shared responsibility. The public can greatly assist the law enforcement agencies by providing essential information that can help solve crimes and apprehend offenders.

Vigilance is Key

Persons visiting nearby shops, stores and establishments in and around the Southside are urged to be alert and mindful of their surroundings. Public’s attention to details and early reporting to the authorities could prevent a recurrence of such incidents.
